We're less than two weeks away from IBC 2016 and everyone at Grass Valley is preparing to share its renewed vision with customers, partners and friends around the industry.

IBC 2016 will be a bit of an unveiling for Grass Valley as we introduce a new way of looking at the business environment we all inhabit  embodied by our new company vision, Content Your Way. Content is the common link between what television once was  and what future generations will watch.

And it all revolves around a series of key customer applications that focus on the hot button issues that really drive us forward  Live Production, News, Content Delivery and the Networking that underpins them all.

Take a look at the brief message from our president, Marco Lopez and learn more about Content Your Way.

In addition, the LDX 86N gives you the same familiar GV-eLicense upgrade path so that you can always have the camera that you need, with the ability to use standard B4 2/3-inch HD lenses or the new B4 2/3-inch 4K lenses becoming available. So whether it's HD or 3X super slow-motion today, 3G or 6X super slow-motion tomorrow, or 4K UHD down the road, you'll be ready for whatever your productions demand.

The LDX 86N Series provide you with two parallel upgrade paths: One based on higher resolution (HD/3G/4K) and one based on higher frame rates (3X/6X).
